September is Su***de Prevention Month. 🤍

Last Saturday, I stopped by this sign.

My thoughts were all over the place. I was fighting with myself inside, and I sat in my car and cried. Then I wiped my tears because… I had groceries to pick up.

And I think that says so much about what struggling can look like.

Life keeps moving. You work. Take care of your child. Answer messages. Smile. Laugh. Say “I’m fine.” And from the outside, everything can look completely normal.

But sometimes it isn’t.

I know because I’ve been there. And I’m still healing.

I asked for help. Yet most people in my close circle have no idea what I’ve been going through. To them, everything probably looks alright.

You cannot always see when someone is struggling.

So please, check on your people. Especially the strong ones. Ask twice. Listen a little longer. Be kind. You truly never know what someone is carrying.

And if you’re struggling, you don’t have to tell everyone. Find one safe person and start with:

“I’m not okay. I need help.”

Please stay. 🤍

In the U.S., call or text 988 for 24/7 crisis support.

September is Su***de Prevention Month. 🤍

Last Saturday, I stopped by this sign.

My thoughts were all over the place. I was fighting with myself inside, and I sat in my car and cried.

Then I wiped my tears because… I had groceries to pick up.

And I think that says so much about what struggling can look like.

Sometimes everything is falling apart inside of you, while life on the outside looks completely normal.

You still buy groceries.
Take care of your child.
Work.
Answer messages.
Make plans.
Smile.
Say “I’m fine.”

And people believe you.

Life can be beautiful and incredibly hard at the same time. It can change so quickly. It can become lonely and overwhelming in ways that are difficult to explain unless you’ve been there.

I was there.

And I’m still healing.

I asked for help. And the truth is, most people in my close circle have no idea what I’ve been going through. To them, everything probably looks alright.

I’m sharing this because I want people to understand something I’ve learned firsthand:

You cannot always see when someone is struggling.

Please check on your people. Not only the ones who look sad.

Check on the strong friend. The busy mom. The person who takes care of everyone else. The one who laughs, works, creates, shows up every day and says, “I’m okay.”

Ask twice.

Listen a little longer.

And if you are struggling, please tell someone. You don’t have to tell everyone. You don’t have to explain everything. Find one person you trust and start there.

Sometimes “I’m not okay. I need help.” is enough.

And please stay. 🤍

In the U.S., you can call or text 988 anytime for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Love.

We’re working on a HUGE wave of new 3MF + STL file uploads for print at HOME! 🥹🤎

Since there are only 2 people behind this little business… plus our very important third team member — our tester, aka our daughter 😂 — we need just a little more time to finish uploading all of the August designs individually.

BUT! We have some exciting news! 🎉

We decided to bring even more favorites to our Print. Play. Inspire. Collection, including our Feed the Friends Collection and this brand-new Old Lady design! 🥹 We absolutely LOVE this book — we read it almost every night for over 5 years!

Hungry Bear 🐻
Hungry Squirrel 🐿️
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom 🌴
Blue Truck Collection 🛻
…and SO much more is coming!

Keep your eyes on our website — we’re uploading as fast as our little team can! 😂

Print. Play. Inspire. 🤎

Love you!

Last day of August… and you know me. I’m an overthinker, I’m emotional, I’m a dreamer… and I’ve always shared pieces of real life here too, because that’s simply who I am.

And since I’ve received SO many messages asking why, I thought it was time to share this publicly.

A few days ago, I sat down and put into words something I’ve been carrying for quite a while. Some of you even took the time to reach out, check on me, encourage me, and simply ask… why?

Why, after almost 6 years, did we decide to take this completely new direction — start releasing our STL + 3MF files, continue growing our digital collections, and create monthly Ready-to-3D-Print Bundles?

There’s a lot behind that decision.

Probably more than you might think.

So if you’ve ever wondered why now?… swipe through these pages. ➡️

The good parts.
The difficult parts.
The lessons.
The changes.
And where my heart is right now.

16 pages.
A little vulnerable.
A lot honest.
And a pretty big chapter for this little business of mine.

I hope by the last page, you’ll have a clearer picture of why we’re here, why we chose this path, and why I’m actually excited about what’s ahead.

And I really hope you’ll stick around to see whatever comes next. 🤎

P.S. And cheers to the ones who don’t particularly like me but somehow never miss a story or a post. 🥂😂 Still watching, exploring, laughing, gossiping… you guys are committed, I’ll give you that. 😜🍾

To My First Born, Olivia 🤍

Today would have been your 11th birthday.
Eleven years.

Some people think time heals everything. It doesn’t. It teaches you how to carry the weight, but it never takes it away.

We moved to California with the biggest dreams... and with you safely growing inside me. We imagined the life we would build here together.

Instead, we came home from the hospital after a city-wide blackout, carrying unbearable silence into an empty apartment. Your nursery was ready. Your little clothes were folded. Your crib was waiting.

But you weren’t. 💔

No parent should ever have to walk into a baby room with empty arms.

Two and a half years later, God blessed us with Em—our miracle, our light, our joy. She has filled our home with laughter and love. But loving her has never meant loving you any less. A mama’s heart simply grows. It carries both joy and grief at the same time.

When Em was four years old, we created this sensory setup together. We made an angel, because that’s how we imagine you. 🤍

Not a single day has passed without thinking of you.
Every night, before we finish our prayers, we say the same words:
“Please, God, let Olivia know that we think about her, and we love her.”

If you are a mama carrying this kind of loss...
If you’re living with PTSD, anxiety, depression, or grief that people can’t see...
Please don’t carry it alone.
Find the people who will sit beside you without trying to “fix” your pain. Find a counselor, a support group, a trusted friend. Ask for help. There is incredible strength in reaching for someone else’s hand when yours is too tired to keep holding everything.

And if today is hard for you too, I hope you know this:

Your baby mattered.
Your love still matters.
Your grief has no expiration date.
From one grieving mama to another...
I’m holding your heart in mine today.

Happy Birthday, my beautiful Olivia.

Until we meet again. 🤍
